A while back I bought a pair of glasses with <a href="http://www.zennioptical.com/598721-stainless-steel-full-rim-frame.html">these frames</a> from Zenni Optical. They've since discontinued those glasses; where can I get a similar pair? I originally bought them with photochromic lenses, which I now realize I don't like so much. I may send my current pair to an online shop that can just create and put in new lenses, but I'd rather get a new pair as close to these as possible. Does anybody else sell this style?<br>

The black and white coloring (as opposed to more colorful) is fairly important to me, as is the sort of ladder effect on the arms.tag:ask.metafilter.com,2016:site.302072Mon, 31 Oct 2016 12:47:06 -0800mistersixRecs for website or app that recommends eyewear based on design specs?http://ask.metafilter.com/297643/Recs%2Dfor%2Dwebsite%2Dor%2Dapp%2Dthat%2Drecommends%2Deyewear%2Dbased%2Don%2Ddesign%2Dspecs
I.e., frame size, materials, style, weight.
Alternatively, actual recs for a frame are welcome! I'm wondering if there might be something that scrapes this info from catalogues (if that’s even possible) and will provide an actual model number that I could then use to follow up with local opticians. (Have a slightly complicated script, want properly centered lenses etc., glasses will cost $500+ no matter what, don't want to mess around.) <br>
<br>
Plus, I'd like to try these glasses on. I know some US and UK companies offer "try on" services, but haven't seen this offered by a Canadian site. Not worth shipping/customs etc to try international options, imo.<br>
<br>
There's lots of advice on retailers' sites on considering frame size, but not <em>much</em> help in using this information to sort through options, at least on the sites I've seen. (There's one UK company that does this, but most of the recommendations are for their own brand / brands I wouldn't be able to easily find here.)<br>

<br>
Alternatively, can anyone recommend a frame for me? <br>
<br>
Frame size: 52-54/~16/140; lens height ~ 35-38 mm. (PD: 68)<br>
<br>
Style-wise, must be: <br>
<br>
* full rim, mixed materials (non-nickel metal bottom, ideally gold-coloured; tortoiseshell, brown, or burgundy plastic up top) with nosepads <br>
<br>
* highish bridge but not a very high “browline”<br>
<br>
* cat eye or squarish-rectangular shape, with slightly rounded edges at the bottom. <br>
<br>
<small>Must be lightweight - have rosacea; heavy, plastic frames have been causing dilated capillaries on my skin, due to the way the weight is distributed on the bridge. Hence the need for nosepads, and preference for mixed materials. (Used to wear plastic frames, no problem, but the capillary thing is getting worse with evil, <em>evil</em> time :/ Metal-only frames = visibly thick lens edges all around, because of the high prescription. Also just dislike the look of titanium frames.) <br>
<br>
I can’t decide between polycarbonate lenses (which are lighter than high-index, but will look sort of bad with the metal bit), and high-index lenses (which will look better because they're thinner, but weigh a bit more than polycarbonate). Thoughts on that appreciated. <br>
<br>
It would be great to get info on materials used for the frames (unlikely, I know). I'm allergic to nickel, and I know some plastics are lighter than others. <br>
<br>
I <em>loved</em> <a href="http://www.dolcegabbana.com/eyewear/ophthalmic/women/dg1268-square-metal-acetate-glasses-gold-matte-black-frame/">these</a> (54/16/140, 38 lens height). But I know that once my lenses go in there, there's going to be that face-distorting, funhouse-mirror effect. Apparently, the lenses need to be less wide to minimize that. But any <em>frame</em> that's narrower than 52 mm looks terrible :/<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B01E6EVZ36/metafilter-20/ref=nosim/">These</a> are pretty great for me as far as the lenses go (35 mm height; frame: 54/16/135); they're like the other ones, but curve in a bit at the bottom, bit shorter, there's less face-distorting surface area. Except the arms are 5 mm too short, and feature ridiculous rhinestones. (Sadly, the arms can’t be changed, I asked.) </small>tag:ask.metafilter.com,2016:site.297643Thu, 30 Jun 2016 10:22:55 -0800cotton dress sockHey Girl With Those Pretty Glasses, Where Did You Get Them?http://ask.metafilter.com/297332/Hey%2DGirl%2DWith%2DThose%2DPretty%2DGlasses%2DWhere%2DDid%2DYou%2DGet%2DThem
Today I tried on <a href="http://www.pretavoir.co.uk/dita-rebella-drx-3031-d.html?sf=y&gclid=CJib8-SJvM0CFeop0wodFE0LfA">this pair of glasses</a> &amp; I loved them. I did not love the price tag - can you help me find them (or a very similar style) within my budget? Difficulty level: UK but happy to internet shop. So, I tried on these fabulous black frames. I loved them because they have that catseye vintage vibe but still remain quite rectangular. They were also very comfortable to wear. Oh, and they suited my big face (IG <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BDeTKMKExTi">link to face + current glasses</a>). I've already googled the name of the frames and they appear to be a 2015 model now slowly going out of stock.<br>
<br>
Sadly my budget does not stretch to £445 + roughly £200 lenses. I'd be happy to go up to maaaaybe £135 plus lenses, but only if the frames are super-omg-perfect. Below £135 would be fabulous. Happy to (re)glaze if needed.<br>
<br>
So, to recap: black catseye frames with a rectangular flavour. Must be on the big side of things as I have a big face (trust me).

So it's finally come to this: I need to wear prescription sunglasses while driving. I'm wearing progressive lenses in <a href="http://www.shuron.com/ronsir_zyl.htm">Shuron Ronsir Zyl</a> frames, which I love. I was thinking to save money I'd get prescription sunglass lenses for just the the driving part, (distance only), not progressive lenses; then I remembered that you can get clip-ons for the Ronsirs.
My question(s) is for Shuron Ronsir wearers who have the clip-ons: Are they a drag to put on and take off? <br>
Do they wreck your frames by marking them/wearing them out if you put them on and off a lot?<br>
Are they good sunglasses?<br>
Do they look dorky?<br>
Any info about your experience would be greatly appreciated.tag:ask.metafilter.com,2016:site.296438Tue, 31 May 2016 11:43:55 -0800chococatNew glasses frames, high myopia/progressiveshttp://ask.metafilter.com/292846/New%2Dglasses%2Dframes%2Dhigh%2Dmyopia%2Dprogressives
I'm looking for new eyeglass frames and want some new ideas for what to look for. My prescription is -9.00 SPH, -2.25 CYL, ADD +1.00. This places several constraints on what I can wear. The frames need to be small enough that the lenses will not be Coke bottles but need to be tall enough to accommodate the progressives, and I'm a little stumped on ideas for my next pair. I currently wear Silhouette rimless glasses--I can't remember which lens number but the last pair were like ovals with the ends sliced off, this pair is more angular (I wanted to try more rectangular frames but the optician said that in order to get adequate segment height I'd have to go too large and would hate it). The size is 47-17-135. (I'm a woman, and I'm only 39.) <br>
<br>
These are really comfortable, but as my prescription has worsened, I think I may have hit my limits of what I can get away with in rimless, even with an upgrade to 1.74 high index. <br>
<br>
I will be purchasing from my local independent optician--I can't do online ordering. Obviously I'll try a bunch of pairs on (which involves the optician taking 20 camera phone photos and me texting because I can't see what I look like and none of them look anything like they will with the real lenses in!) but I'm a little lost as to what to look for. When I look at what's in style, it all seems too oversized or bulky for this kind of script.tag:ask.metafilter.com,2016:site.292846Thu, 03 Mar 2016 18:03:04 -0800anonymonkeyCheap and easy frames and prints of wedding photos for giftshttp://ask.metafilter.com/288449/Cheap%2Dand%2Deasy%2Dframes%2Dand%2Dprints%2Dof%2Dwedding%2Dphotos%2Dfor%2Dgifts

I just found out I need to wear eyeglasses full-time and I need help selecting frames, purchasing advice, and moral support. There are difficulty modifiers. <strong><em>Very</em></strong> special snowflake details inside. So I'm a man in my early 40s and I know I had been in denial for a while, but I guess it hit a critical mass and I went to the eye doctor with vision complaints. Turns out I am nearsighted, farsighted, and astigmatic, so I will need to wear eyeglasses full-time.<br>
<br>
<strong>Here's my big problem:</strong> I have <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coloboma">coloboma of the iris</a>, which means my pupil is shaped like an old-timey keyhole with the bottom of the keyhole pointing at roughly 4 o'clock. This gives the false impression that I am cross-eyed. What kind of frames can I pick that will not draw further attention to a condition that I am already horribly sensitive about? I'm thinking rimless, right? I have an oval-shaped face with a shaved head and full beard.<br>
<br>
Also, the eye doctor suggested I get safety glases with progressive lenses and strongly suggested I wear them all the time. I have become pretty physically active over the past few years (I'm into road cycling and starting to dabble into kayaking). How many frames am I going to need to accommodate my lifestyle? I'll need prescription sunglasses, but I don't need progressive ones, right? How can I afford all this without breaking the bank?<br>
<br>
Finally, any tips and tricks I should know, having not worn eyeglasses regularly since childhood? How does one deal with the realization that your body is starting to betray you and you are sliding into frailty?tag:ask.metafilter.com,2015:site.281278Mon, 08 Jun 2015 21:50:47 -0800AnonymousHome decor filter: Looking for a specific picture (perfect) framehttp://ask.metafilter.com/281277/Home%2Ddecor%2Dfilter%2DLooking%2Dfor%2Da%2Dspecific%2Dpicture%2Dperfect%2Dframe
Help me find more of the perfect frames that I bought several years ago... 7-8 years ago, I bought several picture frames from a store (may have been somewhere like Marshall's, Michael's, or Target); I remember them being fairly inexpensive, as frames go. I would love to find more of these frames, as they are super simple to use. They are 11" x 14" with a black plastic frame and a piece of glass that sort of "snaps" into place, through the front of the frame. There are vertical and horizontal holes on the back for hanging. The insert is a piece of cardboard that's regular cardboard on one side and black on the other side. No extra hardware. There are no markings anywhere on the frame. <br>

I'm thinking that, for my next bike, I'd like to buy a frameset and have it built up. I've never done this before. What should I know? All of the bikes I've owned have been older used bikes, or new low-end complete bikes. I'd like to get a nicer bike, and it seems like the best way to get what I want (light-ish steel) is to buy a frame and have it built up. At the moment I'm mostly looking at frames from Soma or Gunnar. There are local shops that deal in each line.<br>
<br>
Some things I'm wondering:<ul><li>Did you pick the parts? Did you let the shop pick the parts? Some combination?</li><li>Were you able to get an accurate estimate ahead of time of the total cost, or is this something where I should allow extra room in the budget?</li><li>Did you ride a built-up version of the frame before ordering it, or did you pick your frame and sizing based only on published geometry and hope for the best?</li><li>Were you happy with the result?</li></ul><br>
<br>
I'm not somebody who has ridden dozens of bikes and can tell you his precise ideal geometry down to the fraction of a centimeter and it makes me a little nervous to spend so much money on something that I can't test until it's too late to back out. So I guess I'm looking to either be reassured or dissuaded.</ul></ul>tag:ask.metafilter.com,2014:site.267672Sun, 31 Aug 2014 14:00:59 -0800ennHow do I get a keyhole slot cut in my mounted poster?http://ask.metafilter.com/264878/How%2Ddo%2DI%2Dget%2Da%2Dkeyhole%2Dslot%2Dcut%2Din%2Dmy%2Dmounted%2Dposter

I have another poster mounted the same way and it attaches to the wall via a screw in a keyhole slot (<a href="http://i.imgur.com/SdR71n6.jpg">picture</a>). But my new poster didn't come with that damn slot!<br>

- I don't own a router but I have a Dremel tool.

I'm not very skilled with the Dremel so I'm also worried that I'll mess it up.<br>
- Could I buy a small length of wood with a slot and just butt it up to the inside of the poster frame? As long as it's the same height as the existing frame, I think this would be an easy solution. But I don't know anyone with the tools and it seems like a laughably small job for a custom shop. Does anyone sell this sort of thing?<br>

I bought a picture frame for my 7 year old, now I don't know what to put in it. Would a kid like a photo or art or something else best? I got the frame at all because it is fabulously shiny, with aqua, silver, and green. But it doesn't seem enough on it's own. And if anyone has kids in the 5-10 age range to ask, I'd find that super useful. (And I am fine with just putting a photo in, I'm just not sure that's the most fun thing to put in it.)<br>

Starting to think about holiday gifts, and I have received a request for one of my photos printed and framed. What is the best way to turn a photo into a gift? (Bonus difficulty: the original photos are analogue/film with a square aspect ratio.) I shoot film, then scan digitally. I can do my own B&amp;W darkroom prints, but not color. In the past, I've had American Frame print and frame photos, but I was never really happy with plexiglass instead of real glass and I had a bad customer service experience last time I used them. <br>
<br>
I'm lucky enough to still have a real photo store in my area (Calumet, formerly Penn Camera) but I haven't had them do any printing for me since they changed hands. I'm concerned that their film services are a bit of an afterthought now; it's taking me up to 2 weeks to just have B&amp;W developed anymore.<br>
<br>
I guess my options are:<br>
<br>
(A) Get a print done from the original negative, then have it framed at a local craft-type store.<br>
<br>
(B) Get a print done from the original negative and try to find an off-the-shelf frame/mat in a square format.<br>
<br>
(C) Send a digital scan to someone, somewhere to print and frame for me.<br>

I've got several double-sided posters, A3 sized, which I'd like to frame for display so that they could be regularly turned around. The posters are double-sided movie schedules from the 1990s for an art-house cinema that's since closed down; of sentimental value to me but otherwise worthless. I'd like to be able to put them up properly so that every month or two there's a different side, more or less as they were meant to be displayed.

Is this possible? What kind of framing am I after? And is it likely to be very expensive?tag:ask.metafilter.com,2013:site.247707Sun, 01 Sep 2013 16:37:43 -0800Fiasco da GamaMoscot Ipish glasses?http://ask.metafilter.com/245855/Moscot%2DIpish%2Dglasses
Where (online or off-) can I get Moscot "Ipish" glasses frames? These are they: http://www.moscot.com/vintage-sunglasses-originals-sun-ipish_475_31.htmltag:ask.metafilter.com,2013:site.245855Thu, 01 Aug 2013 19:40:43 -0800Joseph GurlLooking for LARGE "Swifty Lazar" type glasseshttp://ask.metafilter.com/245804/Looking%2Dfor%2DLARGE%2DSwifty%2DLazar%2Dtype%2Dglasses
Does anyone know where I can buy LARGE, fake black square type glasses that Swifty Lazar wore? I am looking for a pair of these glasses as part of a costume. I don't wear glasses, so I don't need the frames to put my lens in, etc, I want them to be clear glass (so I can see out of them) and since they are for a costume, I am only looking for a cheap pair (not a designer, high end set of frames). <br>
<br>
The style I am going for are the VERY large, black, square, boxy type glasses that <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XyS35C7C6w8/S2eCtU6TGuI/AAAAAAAAAkw/lpCDkmCZCRQ/s1600-h/swifty+lazar.jpg">Swifty Lazar</a> wore. Also, more recently, Jerry Seinfeld's dad (<a href="http://www.seinfeldonline.com/helen2.jpg">Morty</a>) wore them as did Larry David's <a href="http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2005/12/04/arts/roch.583.1.jpg">father</a> in Curb Your Enthusiasm.<br>
<br>
Does anyone know where I might be able to pick up a pair on the cheap? I would need to buy them online. <br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>

P.S. I know that a similar question was posted here back in 2004, but all of the links are dead and I am hoping that there are new options to buy these since that question was posted.tag:ask.metafilter.com,2013:site.245804Thu, 01 Aug 2013 05:04:46 -0800dbirchum
